I joined this group even though I don't fight or battle depression as you all do. Why did I join this group? Because, I'd like to hear your stories. I want to help you, in any way possible. It sounds so stupid but I just want to help everyone in the world, just stop cutting...

depression. But I've had OCD, bipolar disorder, ADD and ADHD my entire life. I've been struggling with self harm since I was 11.
I started out as a normal kid with a couple mental disorders, the grade one hit me. You see, I skipped kindergarten so I was a year younger than...

The antidepressants aren't completely helping. I see my mom in an unhappy marriage and it breaks my heart, especially since I still live at home and I'm always put in the middle. It has been really hard these last few weeks and I've been good so far, but I don't know how much...

I started to cut myself at the beginning of this year. I started to feel depressed and it just felt like the only thing i could do at the time. As the year went on my depression got a lot worse and i began cutting myself a lot more often. i would always do it in places that i...

if you ever feel alone, worthless, sad, or feel the need to hurt yourself. You're not alone in your struggle, everyone at some point feels the way you do and many people have overcome it. I'm here for you

ive been cutting for 3 months now and i love it
Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.
Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.
Used to wish for a...

and she stopped me to point out that I had been cutting recently.. I felt like such a loser.. She's really nice and she helps me through so much.. I just feel terrible when I promise her I won't cut and I still do..

I am going to probably write one of the harshest comments in public now, but I think it is my duty, I can't stand to just stare and keep reading without reacting, so first of all, have a read this:

I was born. That's how it always starts. Being born. Because of that, you live. And if you live long enough, you start thinking. That got me in trouble. I thought too much. I left. Life became hard. No more living, just surviving. Everything I thought I knew was gone. That ended...

For me, every day without cutting is a small victory. I used to be very dependent on cutting. Every time I got sad, or angry, or frustrated, I would cut just so it would all go away for just a little while. So I could just take a moment and not have to worry about all the bad...

because of depression and all the bullying and school and I decided to cut myself. I did it today and it felt strange but now its the only thing I think about... I don't know what to do with my life anymore and should I cut myself again...

A broken mirror,
A bleeding first,
Holding onto a silver razor,
As tears stream down,
Onto lips unkissed.
She is not one that will be missed.
I'll show you mine,
Only if you show me yours,
We'll compare scars,
Decide who's worse.
I've come to the point,
Where I'm bleeding...

all. in fact I do my best to pretend like they aren't there. I have old ones on my left arm but new and old ones on both of my thighs. I hate myself for doing it but I feel better at times after just making the thoughts stop. pretty much it's an addiction and it sucks. it stops...

It has been 51 days since I last cut myself, but the urge is getting harder to resist. I keep trying to find other outlets, other coping skills, but nothing has brought ne the same satisfaction. Satisfaction... I can't express how ashamed and appauled I am for being satisfied...

I've been trying to stop cutting, I've gone over two weeks but the temptation is getting worse. I have no much to lose if I cut again now and all of it I can't go without. I need some support I have none here....

So, I've been cutting since I was in about 8th grade. It's been something I've wanted to stop for a really long time, but I just don't know how. Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a box when I'm at school, I see people who look happy and it makes me want to cry. I'm envious...

I've been suffering from depression all my life! I started cutting myself at the age of 9! I'm ashamed to say its become an addiction! Tonight was the first time in over a year I've done it and I'm so ashamed! I need someone to talk to who won't judge me and understand me...

such thing somebody can fix you. You gotta fix yourself! Is all in you! In your mind! You gotta learn to see your pain and understand it. And try to not let your emotion controls you but the other way around. Happiness is not in the circumstances. Its your choice whether you...

It feels good
the cold metal object
scraping against your skin,
the pain you feel reminds you
You're Not Numb.
You smile at the artwork on your skin.
The puffiness of flesh as blood slowly oozes out.
It's just lines.
But to you it's way more than that.
Each line represents...

I am currently in a legal messed up situation and Ive wanted to quite a bit, for the feeling not the marks....I hate this feeling but I am not sure how to overcome it. I have over 25 scars from cutting and people ask me abot them all the time I really dont wnt to cut but im...

Sitting in the corner alone, the cold darkness in the room threatening to swallow me, surrounding my heart
The pain in my heart welcoming the darkness as my soul suffers the consequences....
Years ago I started cutting to... I don't remember
my body is covered in scars mostly...

I was at my boyfriend's. My boyfriend filled me with so much joy. But I had to leave at 8, and according to his clock, it was only 8:05. So I went home (right across the street, so only takes a minute) And my dad, angry as a bear hits me, telling me I'm late, to look at the clock...

smiling, to go on being positive, inspiring, bringing hope. But none of them know that I wasn’t always this way. That I’m more acquainted with misery and grief than they think. They wouldn’t recognize the person I was, in a very bad place and with a different outlook. From...

My life gets so hard at times I don't know what to do anymore I ant run off my problems write them down or even talk about them I used to use music to help or I used to go up high in a tree and sing to myself or I would go sit on my tire swing and look out at my pasture
I'm...

Little Boy: Are you an angel?
Me: What?
Little Boy: My mum told me that those who have marked wrists are angels.
Me: I'm not an angel
Little Boy: Of course you are. Mum said that only angels harm themselves because they don't like life on Earth. This world is destroying them...

with the fact that I'm not special or important. the loneliness hurt me bad today and I couldn't stop myself. I haven't cut in almost 6 months but I told myself the truth and did something about it. the first cut was a surprise like tasting something I haven't had in a while...

About 7 months ago I looked at my razor in the shower and thought "I'm depressed, I should do something about it".That night was the first time I cut.I did it once a week usually.I had a major fight with my friend about 5 months ago and it got worse.Sometimes I cut everyday...

It's gotten to the point where I don't even know why I do. My mom knows I used to cut, but she doesn't know I still do. I want to quit, but I just don't think I can. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
